Out of the box it can play audio in the background, and now that extensions are available you can block ads as well. You don’t really need constantly updating 3rd party clients or questionable firewalls anymore if you just want usable youtube on a phone.
I haven’t tried newpipe, is it missing any features compared to revanced? I love that I can disable the shorts player, play with my screen off, and the wide array of customization options
My main issue with new pipe is that when I scroll down to read the comments, the video disappeares. It’s not fixed in place (don’t know what that’s called). Other than that, it’s great overall!
Yes for all those things. Doesnt have youtube recommended or sign in, but you can export youtube subscriptions from your account. LibreTube is also great and i like it better (when my phone doesnt cause problems)
